Story lines

  *   Baylor hits the road for the first time this season with an early test against a 2-0 Oregon Ducks Team in Eugene. The game will be broadcast live on Big Ten Network and can be heard locally in Waco on 93.9 FM through the Baylor Sports Media Network.
  *   Nicki Collen's Bears have won their true road openers in all three seasons, defeating UT Arlington, Oklahoma and SMU.
  *   The 2022-23 season didn't have an actual road game until conference play at Oklahoma. The non-conference that season hit the road for four neutral site games at the Golf Coast Showcase (Estero, Fla.) and the Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge (Dallas, Texas)
  *   Dating back to the 2018-19 season, Baylor is the victor of six-straight road openers, after an 0-4 stint (2014-2017).
  *   Baylor holds the 5-0 advantage over Oregon in the series, last facing off Dec. 3, 2023, in Waco.
  *   BU has not seen the Ducks in Eugene since 2008, where the Bears took a 10-point victory. It will be Baylor's first contest in Matthew Knight Arena.
  *   Oregon has a 2-0 record early in the season, beating California Baptist and Nevada at Matthew Knight Arena.
  *   UO averages .477 from the field, going .373 from beyond the arc.
  *   Deja Kelly holds the season points high, posting 21 against Nevada. The Texas native went 9-13 in 29 minutes, with four rebounds and three assists.
  *   Against Cal Baptist, four Ducks found double-figures and 12 of 14 student-athletes scored for a 93-63 win.
  *   Aaronette Vonleh is 25 points away from 1,000 in her career. She would be Baylor's fifth active roster member to hit 1k points at the DI level and would give Baylor the lone lead among power conferences.
  *   Sarah Andrews is 29 assists away from 500 in her career. If she reaches this milestone, she will be just the fifth player to reach 500 in program history.
  *   Andrews is also 20 3-pointers away from breaking the all-time career record at BU of 258 set by Odyssey Simms (2010-14).
  *   Madison Bartley is 48 boards away from 500 career rebounds.
  *   Baylor landed three players on five preseason watch lists, announced by the Atlanta Tipoff Club, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
  *   Sarah Andrews earned spots on the Naismith Trophy Women's College Player of the Year watch list and the Ann Meyers-Drysdale watch list for the best shooting guard in the country.
  *   Andrews is one of nine watch list members from the 16-team Big 12 Conference. Iowa State and Kansas State each are represented by two student-athletes on the list.
  *   Darianna Littlepage-Buggs took her second-straight spot on the preseason list from the Katrina McClain Award for power forwards.
  *   Aaronette Vonleh landed among the top 20 for the Lisa Leslie Award for the best center in the nation.
  *   Jada Walker and Yaya Felder also received votes for the Naismith Starting 5 awards, but did not rank in the top 20.
  *   Andrews and Littlepage-Buggs were also named to the 50-player Wooden Award Preseason Watch List for the Wooden All-American and Most Outstanding Player Award.
  *   Junior Darianna Littlepage-Buggs turned in 25 points in Baylor's season opener against Incarnate Word in 31 minutes.
  *   Buggs drained the first 3-pointer of her career late in the third quarter before sinking her second in the fourth.
  *   Bella Fontleroy set a career-best mark at 14 boards, with nine coming in the second half.
  *   Jana Van Gytenbeek and Aaronette Vonleh also ended the night in double figures.
  *   Jada Walker tied her assists career mark with 10.
  *   BU outrebounded UIW 47-22, 15-4 on the offensive glass.
